Narrative:

We were approaching sju. The WX was scattered clouds, visibility 13 mi. First officer was the pilot flying and I was operating the radios. We were being vectored by approach control to the airport. We had requested runway 10 but the controller said that the tower would clear us for that runway if was available. I was inside the cockpit tuning the radios when approach control asked if we had the airport in sight. I looked up and out the window and saw the airport slightly to our left. I asked first officer if he saw it and he said yes. I told approach we had the airport in sight and they cleared us for the visual to runway 8. Our position was such that we had to immediately configure for approach and landing. Our focus from that point on was outside the cockpit. We configured in the descent, were switched over to the tower and cleared to land. We heard no more radio calls after that. On the landing roll it became obvious that something was not right. After some radio calls we were informed that this airport was isla grande, a few mi short of sju. Contributing factors: new copilot, about a month and half in the airplane; new captain, about 2 weeks in the aircraft; first time into the airport for either pilot. All these above factors come into play at exactly the wrong time but especially not analyzing what we were looking at. This approach and landing was first officer's first with me. I had flown the other 5 legs that we had been together, so this was my first time with him doing the approach. During the visual first officer got a little low on the profile and we got the verbal warning from the ground proximity computer, 'too low, pull up, too low, pull up'. However as we were in visual conditions, first officer shallowed the descent and continued the approach. We have heard since that the tower tried to call us 2 or 3 times during the approach. I feel the reason we heard no more transmissions from the tower was that they occurred at the same time as the verbal proximity warnings were going off, thereby blocking the reception of outside transmissions.

Title: ACR LANDS WRONG ARPT.

Narrative: WE WERE APCHING SJU. THE WX WAS SCATTERED CLOUDS, VISIBILITY 13 MI. FO WAS THE PLT FLYING AND I WAS OPERATING THE RADIOS. WE WERE BEING VECTORED BY APCH CTL TO THE ARPT. WE HAD REQUESTED RWY 10 BUT THE CTLR SAID THAT THE TWR WOULD CLR US FOR THAT RWY IF WAS AVAILABLE. I WAS INSIDE THE COCKPIT TUNING THE RADIOS WHEN APCH CTL ASKED IF WE HAD THE ARPT IN SIGHT. I LOOKED UP AND OUT THE WINDOW AND SAW THE ARPT SLIGHTLY TO OUR L. I ASKED FO IF HE SAW IT AND HE SAID YES. I TOLD APCH WE HAD THE ARPT IN SIGHT AND THEY CLRED US FOR THE VISUAL TO RWY 8. OUR POS WAS SUCH THAT WE HAD TO IMMEDIATELY CONFIGURE FOR APCH AND LNDG. OUR FOCUS FROM THAT POINT ON WAS OUTSIDE THE COCKPIT. WE CONFIGURED IN THE DSCNT, WERE SWITCHED OVER TO THE TWR AND CLRED TO LAND. WE HEARD NO MORE RADIO CALLS AFTER THAT. ON THE LNDG ROLL IT BECAME OBVIOUS THAT SOMETHING WAS NOT RIGHT. AFTER SOME RADIO CALLS WE WERE INFORMED THAT THIS ARPT WAS ISLA GRANDE, A FEW MI SHORT OF SJU. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: NEW COPLT, ABOUT A MONTH AND HALF IN THE AIRPLANE; NEW CAPT, ABOUT 2 WEEKS IN THE ACFT; FIRST TIME INTO THE ARPT FOR EITHER PLT. ALL THESE ABOVE FACTORS COME INTO PLAY AT EXACTLY THE WRONG TIME BUT ESPECIALLY NOT ANALYZING WHAT WE WERE LOOKING AT. THIS APCH AND LNDG WAS FO'S FIRST WITH ME. I HAD FLOWN THE OTHER 5 LEGS THAT WE HAD BEEN TOGETHER, SO THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME WITH HIM DOING THE APCH. DURING THE VISUAL FO GOT A LITTLE LOW ON THE PROFILE AND WE GOT THE VERBAL WARNING FROM THE GND PROX COMPUTER, 'TOO LOW, PULL UP, TOO LOW, PULL UP'. HOWEVER AS WE WERE IN VISUAL CONDITIONS, FO SHALLOWED THE DSCNT AND CONTINUED THE APCH. WE HAVE HEARD SINCE THAT THE TWR TRIED TO CALL US 2 OR 3 TIMES DURING THE APCH. I FEEL THE REASON WE HEARD NO MORE TRANSMISSIONS FROM THE TWR WAS THAT THEY OCCURRED AT THE SAME TIME AS THE VERBAL PROX WARNINGS WERE GOING OFF, THEREBY BLOCKING THE RECEPTION OF OUTSIDE TRANSMISSIONS.
